Air

The only thing that had a chance of making this perfect night even better was a road trip to the ocean. Once we got close enough to smell the sea air, we stopped at the famous Circus Drive In for dinner. The lower of the two pole signs says

PARKING

CURB
SERVICE
ONLY

We got the last spot. Between the ocean breeze and trays full of burgers and fries being carried past, the air was just jam-packed with summer. By the time we finished, it was dark, too dark to bother with the boardwalk. We went anyway.

Beach sand and moonlight... if we got close enough,
we could feel the cool air shushing in with the waves.
